As long as they were still cold they'll be fine. Just pack them up in air tight bags and don't reuse them if there are any refusals.

Scent would indicate that bacteria had started to eat them. Since there is no scent-they have not started to deteriorate-so they should be fine.

Our noses aren't anywhere close to being sensitive enough to smell the start of spoilage, but that said, I agree that if they remained "very cold" you
should be fine to re-freeze them...THIS time only. If refused when offered to snakes, do not re-use.

i never reuse when snake refuses because i leave in overnight, by morning theyre never good and i just see no point in it to begin with

Yeah, if you have to leave them overnight definitely don't reuse.

What I meant was that if you warmed them to offer to snakes, or even if they were at room temperature, they should NOT be refrozen. Actually, I'm mostly
opposed to all refreezing, but I understand the spot you're in...and they "remained very cold" so it's not as big of a risk.
